Import Tips
• Ensure the isopropyl palmitate is not dissolved in a solvent that makes it particularly suitable for a specific use, as this could affect classification
• Provide documentation showing the esterification process and the purity of the product
• Verify that the product is not put up in retail packaging for direct consumer sale, which could shift classification
